Protect your pets

Warwick Town and Country Vets are a trusted resource for pet and livestock owners during snake season, a time when encounters with snakes become more frequent in rural and residential areas alike.

With Queensland’s warmer months inviting higher snake activity, Warwick Town and Country Vets are well-prepared to provide expert advice and medical care for animals that may be at risk.

The team at Warwick Town and Country Vets understands that snake bites can be life-threatening, particularly for pets that may be curious or unaware of the dangers posed by local species like brown and red-bellied black snakes.

They stress the importance of swift action if a pet is suspected of being bitten, as immediate veterinary attention can be critical in saving an animal’s life.

Their clinic is equipped to handle snake bite emergencies, offering treatments such as anti-venom and supportive care for affected animals.

In addition to emergency services, Warwick Town and Country Vets also educate pet owners on prevention, suggesting measures to reduce the risk of encounters. This includes keeping yards clear of debris where snakes may hide and closely supervising pets when outdoors.

With a commitment to both care and education, Warwick Town and Country Vets play an essential role in helping pet owners navigate snake season safely, ensuring the well-being of animals in the Warwick area.
